<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: novadude</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Interesting that it is running 65-66 Impala SS hubcaps. I've always thought that these hubcaps looked pretty good on almost anything Chevy made in the 1960s, including Camaros.

I have an old picture of my Mom's '68 Camaro she bought new wearing these hubcaps (white, black nose stripe, black vinyl top, 250, PG car). Coming from a &quot;car family&quot;, my grandfather (Mom's Dad) almost immediately added these SS caps to the Camaro. He scored from a friend who pulled them off an impala in favor of chrome reverse wheels. They made a huge difference in the appearance compared to stock '68 Camaro caps. </div></div>

'63 Impala SS wheelcovers were also used on some '68 SS Camaros. Ten or so years ago there was a '67 SS 396 Camaro featured in Cars and Parts and it had these '65 style SS three-bar wheelcovers and its NOS redlines still on it.

I knew the '63 Impala style caps were used in '68. I didn't think they ever used the '65 Impals caps on a Camaro from the factory. I am probably wrong though.

That's basically true but the '63 Impala caps had silver paint on them while the Camaro caps had black paint. Exact same cap though under the paint.
